Returning Legacy Snowdown Skins

Legend of the Poro King Game Mode

The most noble Legend of the Poro King featured gamemode is returning this Snowdown and will be available for play through January 7th!

"The poros are back and they’re joining your side in Legend of the Poro King. Jumping into a match, you’ll see two poro pals flanking you in combat. Each one grants a summoner spell that will help you call forth and aid the majestic Poro King!

The Poro King is a mega-classy super minion that heals your team, regenerates mana, and deals AoE damage while handing out royal beatdowns to enemy towers on the Howling Abyss. Summon the mighty Poro King by landing Poro Toss ten times. The King will serve as a sieging dynamo for you until he is killed by the enemy team in a regicide most foul."

Miss out on the fun last year? Let's revisit the LotPK trailer:

The five legacy poro icons (which include a unique poro skin in the Poro King Gamemode) will also be returning to the shop for 250 RP each!

Snowstorm LEGACY Sale

[12/16 - 1/7]

In addition to ALL of the Snowdown legacy skins returning to the shop, over 100 legacy skins are also returning to the shop! They'll be on sale for full price as well as daily one-day legacy sales between December 16th through January 7th!

… A Snowstorm sale is forecasted to bring one-day Legacy sales everyday all through Snowdown...Details below...

*HAZARD TYPE… Daily Legacy skin sales

CONDITIONS… Six different Legacy skins will go on sale everyday, starting December 16 until January 7 at 23:59 PST.

Experts are recommending bringing all poros indoor while the Snowdown Snowstorm sale is active to prevent any confusion between massive amounts of snow and massive amounts of fluff.

Note: Challenger Ahri erroneously appeared in a previous version of this article. We apologize for the confusion but she will not be participating in this sale. She will however be available in January for the launch of the 2016 Season."

Legendary Snowball

The Legendary Snowball promotion is now live through January 7th! For the next two weeks, you'll receive a FREE MYSTERY GIFT when purchasing a legendary (1820 RP) tier skin!

When you buy or receive a Legendary or Ultimate skin this Snowdown, you’ll unlock a free Mystery skin! If that Mystery skin happens to be a Legendary or Ultimate, it unlocks another Mystery skin and can continue to snowball from there. As an added bonus, we’re doubling your chance to unlock a Legendary when you receive each Legendary Snowball Mystery skin."

Just wanted to hop in and clarify that although Snowdown has officially begun, the Legendary Snowball doesn't begin until December 23rd.

Legendary Snowball runs from December 23rd - January 7th. You can grab more info about the Snowdown and all the stuff that's going on here!

TL;DR: When you buy a Legendary skin this Snowdown, you’ll unlock a free Mystery skin! If that Mystery skin happens to be a Legendary, it unlocks another Mystery skin and can continue to snowball from there. Ultimate skins also count!

A couple things to note:

If your Mystery gift is a legendary or an ultimate, you'll continue to snowball and receive another Mystery Gift.

If you gift a Legendary Snowball, the person you're sending it to will also receive the Mystery Gift.

If you gift someone a Legendary Snowball and their Mystery Gift is a legendary (or ultimate), they'll receive another Mystery Gift. (TL;DR, you can snowball from gifting.)

There is no limit as to how many skins you can snowball with! Feelin' lucky?

Surprise Party Fiddlesticks and Primetime Draven, while priced as 975 RP, are legendary skins and are part of the Legendary Snowball. They're permenantly discounted as a thanks to players.

Legacy Legendary skins listed in the Snowstorm Sale are also part of the Legendary Snowdown.

There's a double legendary chance for the mystery skin you get from Legendary Snowball. Normal mystery gifting doesn't have this multiplier.

Legendary Snowballs bypass the normal 10 available skins rule. You only need to have one eligible skin. This only applies to the Mystery Skin attached to the legendary. Mystery gifting still has the 10 item restriction.

You'll know if Legendary Snowball is active when you see the check box on the purchase confirmation page in the store. If you see that, there will be a Mystery Skin with your purchase!

I think this covers all the odds and ends! If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask!
